Happy New Year!

(I’m taking this excuse/opportunity to be a sap and let you know how much you’re appreciated. This blog wouldn’t be complete without some obligatory holiday post.) To all my old readers: I’m glad you’re still here! Your encouragement and enthusiasm fuels my efforts and keeps me going. To all my new readers: Welcome! Poke around and feel free to post your ideas, ask questions, and … Continue reading Happy New Year!

Back

I’m back from break. Why did it take so long to come back? Well, I could say I’ve been busy. But then naturally you’d ask, busy with what? In which case I have to admit I haven’t really been all that busy. I’ve given up trying to fight the winter blues so instead I’ve embraced hibernating in the house on weekends and catching up on … Continue reading Back

Break

I’m going to put the blog on a small hiatus. It’s been over 8 months of constant blogging, and I’ve finally run out of steam. That plus life and fun getting happily in the way (like a new job and an upcoming vacation!) have prevented me from generating a steady stream of posts. For now. Worry not, I have lots more planned for when I … Continue reading Break

Search Engine Terms That is, the keywords or phrases people typed in and clicked through to my blog. An … Continue reading Searching (and Finding)

Dimensions Clinic

A Long Overdue Check-Up A few weeks ago I was searching for healthcare and came across the Dimensions Clinic. It’s actually part of the Castro Mission Health Clinic in San Francisco’s Castro-Mission neighborhood, but Dimensions is the queer youth division. Since it was also recommended by someone else as a solid option to get trans-friendly medical care, I gathered up my courage to go check … Continue reading Dimensions Clinic

Birthday

Today, April 23, is my birthday (don’t worry, I scheduled this post beforehand, I’m probably out celebrating right now). I share this day of birth of William Shakespeare, Shirley Temple, and other famous people who have Wikipedia articles. I am now 25 years old, and looking younger everyday. It’s also almost exactly two months since my top surgery, and as a mish-mash-all-in-one I’ll share my … Continue reading Birthday

Gender Forms

As anyone whose gender is non-binary, I dread forms, especially online ones where you absolutely cannot click “next” until you fill everything out. Here are three forms that I’ve recently filled out that have surprised me in some way. Trevor Space This is a subgroup of the larger Trevor Project, focusing on spreading LGBT awareness in order to prevent suicide in queer teens. Trevor Space … Continue reading Gender Forms
